It FAILS to DesuiteIy Decide Anythiu.


1t Fails to DesuiteIy Decide Anything.
However.
The Interstate commerce commits
sion, has rendered the long expected
decision upon the fourth section Of
the Interstate commerce act, which
prohibits g greater charge for the
transportation OF passengers and
property over 8 shorter than q longer
distance IN the same direction under
substantially similar circumstances
and conditions. The decision was
made upon the petition OF the Louis
vile & Nashville and other railroad
companies, which were among the
first 10 apply for relief from the opera
ton OF the fourth section OF tne law.
The decision is very long, comprising
more than l5, 900 words, but the
most important feature Is the an
nOuuCement that the commission,
alter mature consideration, Is salts
lied that the statute does not require
It to grant its order for relief before
the carrier Is at liberty in its tariffs
TO depart from the general rule. The
carrier must Judge for Itself what are
substantially similar circumstances
and conditions which preclude q
special rate, rebate or drawback.
which IS made unlawful by Section D
and Section A, since no tribunal Is
empowered to Judge for it until after
the carrier has acted, and then only
for the purpose OF determining whether
its action constitutes a viClatiOn Of
law. The carrier judges IN peril Of the
consequences, that the special rate.
rebate or drawback which it grants
Is not Illegal when it turns
out that the circumstance and COndI-
tIOns are not such as forbid it; and as
Congress clearly intended this, 1t must
also, when using the same words il
the fourth section, have intended that
the carrier, whose privilege was IN the
same wav limited by them, should in
the same way act uD0n MS Judgment
or the limiting circumstances. The
commission, therefore, vii not under
take 10 decide what constitutes or
what does not constitute disCTimina-
ton under substantially similar cir
Cumstauces snd conditions, " but will
leave the railroad companies in fixing
their tariffs TO act upon their own
Judgment and At their own risk, sub
IeCt to accountability before the com
miss on and courts IN cases where
complaint Is made by interested par
ties OF q violation OF the law.

so that the finding is that OF only two
men. The seat OF Prof. Smythe is de
clared vacant. The board say it is
not d question whether Prof. Smythe's
views are IN accord with present be-
hets, but whether they are contrary
to the creed laid down by the founders
OF the seminary. Prof. Smythe de-
cllned TO talk st length, but said this
was not the end OF the matter. His
acquitted associates say the case wilt
be carried up to the supreme court;
that meantime, as the trustees are
with them and are superior to thevls-
itOrs, Prof. Smythe viii continue to
teach in the seminary, Just as hereto
fore. They will stand by Prot,

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, June l8.-The
report that the Chicago, Milwaukee <
st. Paul Company is interested in the
purchase Of the Hotel St Louis.
at AInnetOnka, is confirmed. A
syndicate Of Northern Pacific Rail
road officials, consisting OF
Messrs. Oakes, Odeu, Postlethwaite,
Ames and others, have purchased the It.
Louis hotel, and have arranged with the
Milwaukee & It. Paul Railroad Compa-
ny to build a branch from Hopkins Sta
ton 10 the hotel, a distance of nine miles
The st. Paul Company Is to have third
interest in the hotel property, which,
although it sold for only 100000, is
worth S250,OO0 Mr. Gibson, the former
owner, Is connected with the Northern
Pacific people n their hotel enterprises
in the Yellowstone Park, and the
scheme is to run the Hotel It. Louis in
connection with the fOrmer.aud to make
the Milwaukee 6S st. Paul a feeder for
southern travel to the Northern Pacific
Railroad and the Yellowstone Park. The
Milwaukee q st. Paul now runs to Kan
sas City. There is a Kansas City colony
having summer residences near the no
tel and it Is expected that with the IA
GItIes Of direct communication afforded
by the Milwaukee & St. Paul il viii be
favorite summer resort Of Kansas City
and st. Louis people, and that many Of
them will find their way over the North
ern Pacific to Yellowstone Park. Il Is
evidently designed to make the Hotel
st. Louis a rival of the Hotel Lafayette,
and the Milwaukee & St. Paula compet-
itor for the summer travel of the lake az
against the Manitoba. It's claimed that
the Milwaukee & st. Paul viii bring st.
Paul and Minneapolis seven miles

tel Lafayette by the Manitoba line. The
